This is also the ideal programme for learners who believe that their spoken and / or written English will not meet the requirements of tertiary study or the workplace. The EFL course prepares you for further academic studies or to enter into the business environment.

Our programme is aimed at both foreign and second language users of English who want to improve their knowledge and skills in all areas of English. The programme helps learners to build the competence and confidence they need to use English on a daily basis in all aspects of their lives.
